Resolved: I was not able to compile then make install and have work so I ended up using the FC3 packages and adding only the freshly compiled idmap_rid module. Thanks for the help.

Paul, Your samba does have ACLs support built-in. Please check that your system has the ACLs support libraries. Since you are using kernel 2.4.x you need to have the bestbits acls support libraries installed on your machine. Check the documentation for XFS to see how to mount the XFS file system so it has ACLs support. You should manually be able to set POSIX ACLs using the setfacls utility.

Folks, Over the past few weeks the Samba-HOWTO-Collection and the Samba-Guide have been significantly updated. Over the next 48 hours I hope to complete this process. Today I have added a new chapter to the Samba-3 by Example book (the Samba-Guide). within 24 hours all mirror site should be hosting the current update. I would very much appreciate review of the new chapter 8 and the

hi, may i ask some stupid question. :) I am using Samba 2.2.8a, how should i do if i don't want upgrade to the = latest version of Samba but use the *.patch file? And there are so many patch files, should i patch every file to my = system? If the affected release of a patch file is "3.0.x <=3D 3.0.6", dose it = mean this security issue just affect version 3.0.x and my system

Thanks Sir, just inquisitive, because in a similar PDC configured on NT, I can have groupnames similar to usernames. Also because this is done through a script from web I was getting problems... however now I know it shouldnt be done so I will have to validate that, but a similar validation or some error string displayed from the command itself would be usefull.. regards On Wednesday 25 May 2005

Hi! We use Tapeware to back up a combination of LINUX and MS servers across the network to one of two media servers. One is Windows based and the other is LINUX. Having a little problem with the old tape autoloader on the LINUX box, but the backup/restore from the MS platform works very well.

St?phane, The book "Samba-3 by Example" is being reprinted very soon. Up to date builds of the PDF are available on the Samba web site daily. This document can be downloaded from: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf In chapter 5 I have fully documented how Samba-3 can be deployed with LDAP and using the smbldap-tools. It works perfectly for me and in many sites that

Folks, I like criticism! Please give me lots of it - particularly in respect of the updated "Samba-Guide". It should now be up on the Samba mirror sites. You can download it from: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf I have incorporated all feedback into this book. Did I get it right this time or should I give up? So far, not a word of feedback is deafening! Is it

Folks, Given recent discussion on this list I have just updated the master Samba-Docs information regarding the Debug Class (Log Level) settings and the audit information each causes to be logged. This will appear in on-line versions of the Samba-HOWTO-Collection within 24 hours. To obtain an updated version point your browser at: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf

Hello, Please forgive me if this has been discussed, I did not find any references when I searched. I'm trying to replace a W2K server with a samba member server in a single ADS domain. It seems that the Fedora rpms do not support idmap_rid so I am trying to compile from the Fedora SRPM. After following the docs for building and configuring idmap_rid I get no ADS users from `getent

Robert, First off, the Samba Technical mailing list is not a help facility. Its purpose is purely for discussion of samba design and code implementation issues. Please confine your email to the normal Samba list. There are several avenues for Samba support: 1. The official documentation that consists of: Samba-3 by Example - a book that provides detailed deployment gudiance The Official

Samba version is 3.0.10 on Gentoo linux. I am trying to use idmap_rid backend in a Windows AD environment, the Linux PC acting only as a domain member. I am using idmap_rid because I need UID/GID predictability. I can log in to console correctly, and it shows the right user and the "Domain Users" as the group. When I use default winbind TDB, I can browse the home directory from an XP

Hello: I've been working for a few days on getting a FreeBSD 5.3 server up and running as a samba data backup server. My goal is to schedule periodic backups of our file server. After reading recommendations (e.g. by Mr. Terpstra) I've focused my attempts aroung robocopy, xxcopy, net rpc share migrate shares. However, I'm running into stumbling blocks that seem to involve a problem

Looking through this chapter today and ran across the following inconsistency under the section NT4 Migration Using LDAP Backend. Step 3 says "3. Create a file called preload.LDIF as shown in Example 8.1. Edit the contents so that the domain name and SID are correct for the site being installed." Then step 4 says "4. Preload the LDAP database so it is ready to receive the

I'm using samba version 3.0.10 on an Intel PC running Redhat Linux 3.0 AS. I am using winbind with the idmap_rid module to authenticate users to Windows AD. All the current Linux user account names are exactly the same as the corresponding Windows AD SAM acct names. Everything works beautifully EXCEPT for the GIDs generated from the from the AD Groups that the Windows accounts belong to.

John, The restrictanonymous setting was the primary culprit in Ash's issue. I think he's using basically the same setup as I am; no winbind/LDAP involved. I'm thinking there's some initial handshaking that requires an anonymous connection to PDC, and it's being blocked if the restrictanonymous setting is too high. I sent a note to Ash (& the list) asking for the

What should be the filesystem permissions for the profile share? Something like 0700 user:group for the directory? I'm getting permission denied errors from winxp pro sp2 and samba 3.0.8pre2. Does it have something to do with "profile acls"?

Hi list, This is driving me to distraction. I have installed the 3.0.14a RPMS on SLES8, and am following chapter 9 of the 'By Example' documentation, to migrate from an NT domain to a Samba domain backed by LDAP. I have followed the instructions up to the point where I enter: net rpc join -S pdc_it -U Administrator%password Unfortunately, this responds with: Creation of workstation
